## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has successfully awarded a contract to BSI Standards Limited for the development of a Publicly Available Specification (PAS) for large hydrogen-ready industrial boilers. This tender falls under the technical services category, with additional classifications in research and development consultancy services. Located in London, the contract is part of a broader strategy to decarbonise industrial processes by facilitating the switch to low carbon hydrogen. The procurement stage is currently complete, with a contract period starting from 8th January 2025 and ending on 30th June 2025. The total contract value is £81,900 GBP, and the procurement method used was a direct single tender action, applicable below the threshold limit.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the technical services and research consultancy sectors, particularly those specialising in the development of industrial standards and environmental regulation compliance. With the focus on hydrogen-ready boilers, companies with expertise in sustainable energy solutions and industrial equipment manufacturing stand to benefit. Collaborative partnerships and the development of innovative hydrogen technologies can lead to further contracts and the potential for market leadership in a rapidly evolving industry prioritising net zero emissions.

## Notice

Development of Hydrogen-ready Industrial Boiler Publicly Available Specification (PAS) Decarbonising industrial processes is an important part of achieving our net zero ambitions, and a likely early off-taker of low carbon hydrogen. We will take steps to ensure this can happen by phasing out unabated fossil fuel burning in industry and supporting possible replacements. Therefore, the Department is sponsoring the British Standards Institution (BSI) to develop a Publicly Available Specification (PAS) for large boiler equipment that is hydrogen- ready. This standardisation document will be aligned to PAS 4444, developed for hydrogen-fired and hydrogen-ready gas appliances. We anticipate this PAS will develop a standardised definition for what constitutes a large 'hydrogen-ready' boiler that will give confidence to End-Users that this equipment can enable faster and cheaper fuel switching to hydrogen than would otherwise be the case.
